Kitty is right, Jasmine offiinale - mine is growing so fast, it was given to me as a gift in April. Probably won't be cutting it back until next year, it's potted with a trellis at the moment but I definitely prefer the evergreen 'trachelospermum jasminoides' with more star like flowers.
It's jasmine, if it had white flowers through the summer, then put the shears over it at the end of summer, if it's geting over grown you can cut it to a foot above ground it will send out new shoots but you'll loose flower for a season or two, if it had yellow flowers in the winter then don't touch it till after it flowers next spring.

What type of jasmine is it Tracey?
I have a "jasmine beesanium" which I cut back with hand shears with no ill effects.
Not sure about other varieties though.
Not sure of the type at all.
I may be completely wrong but it looks more like wisteria. ?????
Best wait for someone clever.
Any pics of the flowers?
No definitely jasmine. It has finished flowering sadly.
I've been noseying about on google images and it could be "jasmine officinale".
